Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis often misdiagnosed as lung cancer: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationaleThe incidence of epidemiological pulmonary aspergillosis (PA) is increasing worldwide. Diagnosis of PA is challenging because of the nonspecificity of its clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. PA has a high mortality rate, making early diagnosis and treatment critical. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 67-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with a half-month history of cough, blood-tinged sputum, and a sore throat. The patient had no history of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, or diabetes. The patient had a family history of cancer. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA).
interventionsAfter the diagnosis of IPA, the patient underwent antifungal treatment with oral voriconazole. OUTCOMES: After treatment, the patient's symptoms improved, and a follow-up chest computed tomography scan showed a reduction in the area of inflammation. LESSONS: Immunocompetent individuals may develop IPA. The clinical and imaging manifestations of IPA vary, which makes misdiagnosis possible. When necessary, a pathological biopsy can be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
